[Nettime-nl] [OKNO] Winter Reboot

[okno@okno.be]

:: OKNO Winter Reboot :::   ::::   ::: :::: ::: ::: ::::: ::..::: ::: :

After spending the summer researching wireless networks and  
alternative energies and expanding the Reseau Citoyen network, OKNO  
kicks off its winter program.
We've been questioning our spatial habits and decided to move to a  
new, more functional and focused space. Our endless urge to redefine  
and reconfigure OKNO has led us to let go of old spaces granting us a  
new focus more inline with our upcoming projects.

:: Coming Up ::

28/9 -- 2/10 Trailer31 in Biella, Italy
Code31 goes for a late summer workshop to Biella, Italy. As every  
year, they will research their latest challenges in DIY fashion.

28/10 -- 4/11 Se Mi Sei Vicino by Sonja Cillari
The interactive performance Se Mi Sei Vicino (If you are close to me)  
is a practical research into Body-Environment interaction and the  
possibilities of using the 'Body as Interface'. A core element of the  
work is a sensor floor on which a performer is standing, functioning  
as a human antenna; when coming close to or being touched by members  
of the audience, the movements of the bodies are registered as  
electromagnetic activity.

25/10 -- 28/10 PeopleDatabase Recombined (okno new space &  
radiophonic festival)
Annemie Maes proposes a series of 10 remixes out of the People  
Database. New York soundscapes create the background for  
contributions by the new york poet Kristin Prevallet. Her 'spoken  
word' reflections are infiltrated by viruses and as such the original  
texts and language will be slowly transformed.

NoToVo (from Noise to Voice) shown at CCNOA brussels and Biella, Italy
a project investigating the behavior of language in its many  
appearances: textual, sonic and visual, as well as gestural or body  
language. How do these disparate elements relate to each other and  
how do they organize within a system, which includes human and  
computer as a sender and a receiver.

Karasssuite by Menschen haben Krisen in a networked performance on

media piece, based on transformed quotes from 'Cat's Craddle' by Kurt  
Vonnegut (1963).
